Welcome to the Computing Education Research Group at the TUM School of Social Sciences and Technology. We develop research-based computing education, with a particular focus on K-12 education. Our mission is to empower everyone to not only understand computer science and the digital world but to actively and creatively shape it.
Research
We combine empirical and design-oriented approaches to understand the mechanisms of learning computer science, advancing corresponding theory.
Teaching
In our teaching, we primarily equip future secondary and vocational computer science teachers with the pedagogical skills for high-quality and inspiring computing education.
For Teachers
Translating research findings into classroom practice is a key focus of our work, especially given that computer science is a relatively young school subject.
